First Meeting of the Racial Equity Ad Hoc Committee - May 4th at 6:30pm


In late 2020, the San Anselmo Town Council formed the Racial Equity Ad Hoc Committee and charged it with the tasks of examining issues of racial equity, social justice, systemic racial bias, and diversity in Town and making recommendations to the Town Council on how to best advance equity in all Town departments and operationalize equitable polices, programs and procedures within Town government.

The purpose of the committee is to ensure that Town policies, programs, procedures and laws are not racist, are free of implicit biases, and that laws are fair and equitably enforced. The committee will also explore additional opportunities to build awareness, solutions and leadership around racial equity, social justice, and diversity for Town staff and the wider community.

With the goal of building an inclusive, vibrant and equitable community the committee will:

  • Conduct an audit of the Town’s policies, programs, procedures and laws to be sure that they are fair, equitable and free of biases of any kind.
  • Explore options and implement anti-bias, racial equity and other appropriate training for staff.
  • Explore additional opportunities to improve Town government policies, practices and programs to address racial equity, social justice, systemic racial bias, and diversity issues.  

The committee is comprised of seven members of the community who were selected by the Town Council this spring. To attend the meeting, follow the instructions contained on the meeting agenda:  AGENDA LINK
